"Melk" is dutch for milk no? Funny story actually i made an online account for a game a while back and called it "Melkkor" because i wanted Melkor after the character from the Lord of the Ring universe but it was taken so i just added another "k". Then a swedish player told me "Melk" meant milk in dutch and "kor" was "cow" in swedish! I felt a right plum! :(
Milk for me. Never heard "melk" before. Unless you mean sometimes people emphasise the "i" in milk, making it sound like "mealk", but even then, it's rare to hear people say that. :?
My friend from Minnesota as well as my boss at McDonalds (also from Minnesota) both pronounce it melk. I make fun of my friend all the time....not so much my boss :P

Please tell them I thank them and that they are normal and everybody else pronounces it wrong. Seriously, I feel like a word I can't post here w/o getting moderated when I "try" and pronounce it milk.

What I want to know is how someone from NY and someone from Minnesota has a similar way of saying one word....when the accents are waaaaay different. Also, how in the world did milk turn into melk. It's just...so completely different (and wrong :P)
Then again, I'm an over-pronunciating Chicagoan so I shouldn't judge.

Well maybe it means I'm destined to move to the ice box of the nation? (International Falls)
No clue but I am not the only one around where I live that pronounce it melk. I've always said it that way. When I joined the Navy back in 1988 was the only time someone pointed it out.
This reminds me of this guy I knew who made fun of people that pronounced mayonnaise like how it's spelled (may-yo-naise), while everyone else, myself included, pronounces it like man-aze. That's like pronouncing breakfast brake-fast instead of brek-fist.
